Some noteworthy features of the R280 flat-mount brakes are their low-noise resin brake pads and reach adjustable levers. The Tektro HD-R280 brakes and 160mm rotors ensure precise, reliable, and powerful braking in all conditions. One of the highlights of this bike is the inclusion of high-performance hydraulic disc brakes, as noted in many user reviews. In terms of gearing, the Quick 4 has a 38T Prowheel chainring paired with an 11-42t cassette, giving you some good options for climbing hills, just with bigger jumps between the gears. Still, MicroSHIFT is a well-respected manufacturer, and their Advent is a reliable setup. The choice of MicroSHIFT to supply the components is slightly disappointing, given the superior Shimano drivetrains used by the competition. The benefit of this setup is reduced maintenance and repair requirements and a slight weight reduction compared to a 2x drivetrain.
1×9-Speed MicroSHIFT DrivetrainĬannondale chose a simplified single chainring drivetrain for the Quick 4, which, in our opinion, is perfectly adequate for a fitness hybrid bike. Riders are sufficiently upright to ensure good visibility on busy urban roads, and the OutFront steering improves stability and agility by positioning the front wheel further ahead than usual. Impressively, Cannondale still delivers a relatively comfortable and safe ride experience despite the aggressive geometry. However, the Quick 4 might take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to a comfort bike. This forward and down rider position is what makes the Quick 4 so fast despite being a hybrid. The geometry chosen by Cannondale is notably aggressive for a fitness bike, bordering on that of a road bike (without drop handlebars). Finally, Cannondale designed the frame with sleek internal cable routing and equipped it with mounts for a rear rack and fenders. One disappointing feature of the Quick 4 is the steel fork, a heavier option than the carbon fiber forks used on the equivalent Trek and Giant hybrid bikes.
This design technique boosts the frame’s small bump compliance by optimizing targeted points around the rear triangle, seatpost, and seat tube. In addition, the SAVE micro-suspension increases comfort without sacrificing performance. In addition, the 6061 aluminum is concentrated in certain areas to achieve superior ride characteristics while shaving off every last ounce possible. This lightweight, stiff, and durable frame material is ideal for a speed-focused hybrid bike.

SmartForm C3 Alloy Frame and Steel ForkĪs we touched on above, the highlight of the Quick series is Cannondale’s SmartForm C3 frame. In addition to design and engineering quality, choosing a renowned brand like Cannondale brings extra benefits such as world-class customer service and excellent warranties. Although the groupset isn’t impressive, the extra features and innovative frame technology make this bike a solid choice.
The Cannondale Quick 4 is a well-rounded fitness hybrid at an affordable price.
